THE MURMURS
LA DI DA
Dead good at faking all the romance
Only seventeen
Shot down, waiting for the action
It's a beauty
Won't you take me for a walk?
Don't you wanna show me off?
Won't you take me for a walk?
I need attention
You're all la di da
Drivin' round in your flashy car
You're all la di da di da
You're all la di da
But I know who you really are
You're all la di da di da
Di da!
Drop down, losing her virginity
like some common tart
short change, instead of a serenity
Some broken heart
Won't you take me for a walk?
Don't you wanna show me off?
Won't you take me for a walk?
I need attention
You're all la di da
Drivin' round in your fancy car
You're all la di da di da
You're all la di da
But I know who you really are
You're all la di da di da
Does she know how much she's taken?
Who cares what the girl is saying?
La di da!
Drip dry, empty on peroxide
Turn it on for me
Slip slide, baby's got a free ride
It's a beauty
You're all la di da
Drivin' round in your flashy car
You're all la di da di da
You're all la di da
But I know who you really are
You're all la di da di da
La di da.
I'M A MESS
I'm such a drag wish that I could disappear
I just smoked myself right into this chair
I've had no revelations
Got no future plans
So many expectations and no one understands
I'm a mess, I'm a mess
I'm a mess, I'm a mess
I ruin everything it's never enough
Got a tired alter ego that's always giving up
I used to be the girl that everybody loved
And now I'm just too much
I'm a mess, I'm a mess
I'm a mess, I'm a mess
And I'm crying all the time
How bad can it be?
I wish that I was dead, temporarily
I'm a mess
I'm bored with myself
I'm tired of this life
I'm falling apart
Can't even take advice
I'm so gone, I need my prescription to relax
Now I'm wasted like the rest
I'm a mess, I'm a mess.
BIG TALKER
Big daddy said it's okay holding out for love
Don't like it much but that's the way it goes
Big talker, thrill stalker, sitting on the time
Deciding every day who is next in line
Sick bitch where's your head looking for a lover
Sick of all the chills time for another
I believed you,
And I believed you,
And I, and I
I believed you
I believed you
Bend down lower put your head on my lap
Don't you know that's where it's at?
Everybody's coming, everyone but me
'Cause they don't give me nothin', see?
Trip fit, go ahead, kiss me again
I always like it when it ends
'Cause I believed you,
And I believed you,
And I, and I
I believed you
I believed you
Play it cool now, and then hit me hard
And don't ever be late
Hesitation rising, 'cause that's what you do
Well I'm full of it, too
'Cause I believed you,
And I believed you,
And I, and I
I believed you
And I believed you,
And I, and I
I believed you
I believed you
And I, and I
I believed you
I believed you.
MISFIT
Time and time again they put me down and lock me in
cuz I'm my only friend
I'm a misfit
they'll take me down, won't let me in
I'm giving them my girlish grin
don't look at me that way again
I stare 'em down, just stare 'em down
Misfit, I'm not cool
won't quit, they're so cruel
Misfit, I scare them all
They'll crush me down or push me in
Cuz they don't know where I have been
I close my eyes and count to ten
I stood my ground, just stood my ground
time and time again they put me down and lock me in
cuz i'm my only friend
I'm a misfit
backed into the wall they'll trip me up to watch me fall
they'll never know me at all
I'm a misfit
where do I belong because I'm all alone
Running from myself I can't go home
Misfit, they want me,
won't quit
they haunt me
Misfit, I scare them all
time and time again they put me down and lock me in
cuz I'm my only friend
I'm a misfit
tired out and turning in
I always end where I begin
time and time again they put me down and lock me in
(Misfit I'm not cool, wont quit, they're so cruel)
cuz I'm my only friend, I'm a misfit
(Misfit, I scare them all)
backed into the wall they trip me up to watch me fall
(Misfit, they want me, won't quit, they haunt me)
they'll never know me at all, I'm a misfit
(Misfit, I scare them all).
SMASH
I dreamed that I knew the secret code
I cracked the formula and found the perfect note
Now it's so easy to give you what you need
Your face betrays you, it's not so hard to read
Big head, back lash,
I see your face and I wanna smash
Smash! Gonna take you far
Your charm, sweet sound, it's all for sale
Go climb Mount Everest, I can't afford to fail
A certain beauty, that million dollar smile
Just give them what they want before it's out of style
You wanna smash, smash!
Gonna take you far
Don't wanna crash
Crash! Who do you think you are?
Big head, back lash,
I see your face and I wanna smash
Smash! Gonna take you far
Have her drink some poisoning
Can get so high you forget how to think
Go cry, and crash
So dry, get trashed
No lie, all thrash
Oh my! More cash!
You wanna smash
Gonna take you far
Don't wanna crash
Crash! Who do you think you are?
You wanna smash
Gonna take you far
Don't wanna crash
Crash! Who do you think you are?
You wanna smash.
GENIUS
She's got something to say the world
She wants to know if she could tie it up
So it can't move, she is feeling inspired
she said it's too cool for it's own good
She's kinda freaky
She's kinda weird
She's kinda freaky
But I don't know
I think she's a genius
If she could only just slow it up
Then she could get out really quickly
She thinks the chances are
Pretty high, pretty high, pretty high
She's kinda freaky
She's kinda weird
She's kinda freaky
But I don't know
I think she's a genius
She had that slow motion thing happen
And she wants to tell you about it
But you know, you know, you know
She does not trust you
She knows all you are is lucky
She's kinda freaky
She's kinda weird
She's kinda freaky...
But I don't know
I think she's a genius.
DON'T LIE
Don't like my ratty hair
you said I'm too young and you're too scared
I still dressed up to be the cutest doll
I called you up from the pool hall
How bout you take a chance on me
I'm not your average somebody
like the other girls chasing after you
I actually feel something true, something true
oh uh oh, oh just don't lie
Took me on your motor bike
you rev me up and drive me wild
This could be love but I'm moving slow
just don't drive me down an unlucky road
Unlucky road
Oh uh oh... Just don't lie.
UNDERDOG
I used to be scared of being myself
Afraid to know what you'd really think
I'd look into your eyes but I couldn't tell
We hung out all summer and we'd drink and drink
and drink and drink
You didn't know that you broke my heart
you didn't want to end and you didn't wanna start
That was the day you took me for a drive
you dropped me off I cried and cried and cried
cried and cried
Take me down I don't wanna be found
Don't wanna play the part of the underdog
look around I'm not like others
It's a long way up
It'd be easy if I just left town
One year later and I'm sleeping in your bed
your wrapped around my body and I'm so content
I remember it well when you couldn't care less
but we ended up together
and I guess you know the rest
yeah you know the rest
Take me down I don't wanna be found
don't want to play the part of the underdog
look around I'm not like others
It's a long way up
it'd be easy if I just left town
if I just left town
I wanna run away from you lately
cause I can't face you when you're like that
when I'm around you I misbehaveand
I'll be your slave if you'll have me back
Take me down I don't wanna be found
don't want to play the part of the underdog
look around I'm not like others
It's a long way up it'd be easy if I just left town
if I just left town.
SUCKER UPPER
Asexual, far from intellectual
fashion stealer, free-wheeler
bats her eyes to cover up her lies
she's a sucker upper, starfucker
and I'm gonna blow her cover
My friend, my friend saw you in a coffee shop
she thought you were cute, she thought you were hot
but I thought not
She's trash, she's pretty
she's good enough to do
but we got bored
now everyone's over you
Asexual, far from intellectual
fashion stealer, free-wheeler
bats her eyes to cover up her lies
she's a sucker upper, starfucker
and I'm gonna blow her cover
Fix it, strap it
wrap it around your arm
so you won't forget
when your gone
so long.
COUNTRY SONG
I'm sick of your lies
and I'm sick of your threats
I'm sick the way you want
and I'm sick the way you get
wait till I take off
wait till your so bored
you'll still be waiting someday
but I'll never be sure
your calling me with the blues
It's something I've gotten used to
you treat me like a meal
that you want to throw up
you treat me and you trick me
and you don't show up
don't worry I'll be queen
if the seat's not sold
I'm sure you'll keep your tan
when the sun makes you look old
your calling me with so what do you need
isn't that why you called
I know you think I'm such a fabulous person
but that's not the point just tell me wich way did you fall
Just like that I've gonna back on my word
I love you too much to let you fly with a bird
coming down from an airplane crash
tapping off the shivers on the cigarette ash
your calling me with the blues
It's something I've gotten used to
you drive too fast for not checking your mirrors
I'm still on the fly that you'll get it together
when's the last time that you checked in your mirrors
hope for your sake
the vision is clearer
your calling me with so what do you need
isn't that why you called
I know you think I'm such a fabulous person
But that's not the point
just tell me wich way did you fall.
ABOUT NOTHIN'
I went down to change your mind about nothin, about nothin
You gave up every thing for me
I gave up one too many things
So I went out to find myself but there was nothin
So I made up something
You took up all my energy
What's mine is yours was not for me
I wanted something out of this
You don't ever wear my gifts
This isn't where I live
There's nothin to forgive
You can't stand on your headtrip plan
cause it'll be nothin but an interruption
You're making up that happy voice for my protection
to learn some lesson
I'm racing everyone but you
You'd rather let me cheat cause you know I'd lose
I wanted something out of this
You don't ever wear my gifts
This isn't where I live
There's nothin to forgive
I went down to change your mind about nothin, about nothin.
